lyrics

i don't care if i never make another friend
people these days only care about their dividends
makes me sound old, but there's just no more togetherness
perhaps i am that? old enough to have witnessed it
maybe i'm not the only one looking for an answer
looking for an answer

but i don't see anyone out there
and i don't see anyone in here
are we truly alone?
i feel truly at home
when i'm making it
is the purpose for us tears?
why the message so unclear?
do we just make mistakes?
do we just call it the breaks?
is there a lesson near?

it looks a goddamn mess in here.
hard to see the floor now
maybe we should all just slow down
and take a look from
where we're standing on the ground

lying awake when i need to close my eyes and rest
wondering which choices you will now come to respect
would the things that i say - be better off if they were unsaid?
i feel it's right
to speak your mind more openly
might make - things hard
course less traveled ain't a kind one
not always a kind one

does it matter if we fight?
the words exchanged, they never change your mind
you should know, you crawl before you walk
always will keep on trying to talk
talking, fuck it.
